Simply is the best! Do you ever want to have a good webmail client for internal use only? It should be tightly integrated into your intranet website, e.g., single password and single sign-on. Most of all, it must not be too heavy but effective and easy enough for end-users. Actually, it depends on what your intranet software is. I do recommend you to try Drupal. Drupal has everything you want. And it also has a module to serve a simple webmail client providing single sign-on for you and your colleagues.

P2P is very popular in content distribution network. The most famous one might be BitTorrent. Well, most P2P applications are fully P2P so they proposed new protocols and client softwares. CoBlitz is another concept for distributing large contents over network. It doesn’t propose new protocol, new server or new client. The development team claims that it reaches 700 Mbps while distributing Fedora Core 5.

Google Reader now allows us to  some items via separate feed. Feed items are grouped by label and a plus starred item. By default, all labels and your starred items are not shared.

Since howforge.com has lots of contents related to programming techniques and source codes, I have been looking for a good syntax highlighter that supports all codes published in this site such as Python, HTML, XML, bash, C, Java, C#, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, Ruby, and PHP. Today, while editing XML code in DokuWiki, I found it has very powerful syntax highlighter provided by GeSHi. GeSHi is a generic syntax highlighter written in pure PHP. The advantage of GeSHi is its purity, in my opinion. You don’t have to deploy any additional software stacks like perl. Anyway, GeSHi is such a library for developer to call at run-time. To use it as a filter in Drupal, there must be a filter module that wraps GeSHi. Fortunately, vfilby has done geshifilter module for Drupal already. Actually, geshifilter covers all functions existing in codefilter module so you don’t need codefilter anymore.

Have you ever want to insert javascript into a web page? Yes, I want to do it right now in . There are so many javascript that I would like to insert such as counter, AdSense and . Unfortunately, the script tags are removed on displaying. It seems Google Page Creator has a kind of tag filter to make sure all layout works perfectly on all browsers.

The  said that Google Page Creator isn’t fully compatible with JavaScript yet.  in  mentioned that it is only possible to upload files with JavaScript to Google Page Creator directly from your computer. Anyway, it is impossible to upload the first page aka /home.
